"Rachel, don't you want that prize too? I mean, it's really good. If I win, I won't have to stress about money for the next two months." Rachel thought about how she'd be leaving soon, and how she didn't really have anything to give Cecilia before she left. Then, an idea cto her.

"I really wanted to be on your team." Rachel let out a relieved sigh. "No worries. Think of it this way. If we were in the sgroup, our chances of winning would've been cut in half." "You're right."

"So, you're not upset that I'm teamed up with Samantha?" "What's there to be upset about? She's a colleague. Her mom's sick. As someone who went to school with her, and now as her boss and friend, it's only right you help out.”
